All 18 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Riverside,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
Riverside Behavioral Healthcare Center runs on noticeably thin nursing coverage, 2.51 hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and weekends drop about 15% below its own weekday levels. The trade-off shows up in consistency: staff turnover sits at 36.7%, better than the 45.8% national figure, so the people who are there tend to stay. Its inspection record is current, with the most recent visit in November 2025 and 23 deficiencies logged, none at the harm level, though two are abuse-related. State surveyors rate it well above average on health inspections and quality measures. Families should weigh the lean daily staffing against a relatively stable, recently reviewed operation.
Community Care and Rehabilitation Center runs 162 beds in Riverside under for-profit LLC ownership, and its staffing is its clearest strength, 4.14 nurse hours per resident day, about 7% above the national average, with weekend coverage dipping roughly 6% below its own weekday levels. Turnover sits at 35%, well under the 45.8% national figure, which suggests aides and nurses are staying longer than at many places. The concerns show up in the inspection record: 52 deficiencies, including 2 at the harm or jeopardy level and 3 tied to abuse, against a 2-out-of-5 health inspection rating. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so that record is current. Strong quality measures and staffing numbers coexist here with real compliance problems, worth asking about those abuse-related citations directly.
Community Care On Palm runs 4.54 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 18% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 38.2% sits below the national 45.8%, a sign people tend to stay. Weekends are thinner, though, running about 16% under the home's own weekday coverage, so ask how that plays out on a Sunday. The record is where the picture gets complicated: 44 deficiencies, three at harm or jeopardy level and five abuse-related, plus one fine of $33,540. Its last inspection was April 2026. A for-profit LLC with 51 beds, this is a home with genuine staffing strengths and a citation history worth reading closely before you decide.
Palm Terrace runs 4.41 nurse hours per resident day, about 14% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 15% below its own weekday numbers. Its 25 deficiencies include none at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with an inspection in May 2025 keeping the record current. Staff turnover sits at 43.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national rate, and the 5/5 quality measure rating stands out against a 3/5 on inspections and a 3/5 on staffing. For a 71-bed corporate-owned home, the care metrics look stronger than the compliance record, and the weekend gap is worth asking about directly.
Citrus Grove Post Acute runs 120 beds in Riverside under for-profit, limited-liability ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing sits at 3.87 hours per resident day, essentially matching the national average of 3.86, though weekends dip about 6% below the home's own weekday level. Turnover lands at 39.8%, below the 45.8% national figure, which suggests a relatively steadier workforce. What pulls the record down is the inspection side: 59 deficiencies on file, including one abuse-related citation, with the most recent visit in December 2025. None of those deficiencies rose to harm or jeopardy level, and residents rate their care highly. The staffing and inspection components are where the weaker signals sit.
Valencia Gardens runs 4.35 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, and its 25% turnover is well below the 45.8% typical elsewhere, two signs of a stable floor staff. The 25 deficiencies on record sound like a lot until you notice none reached harm or jeopardy, and none involved abuse. Weekend coverage dips about 12% below weekday levels, a gap worth asking about. Inspectors were last in on July 7, 2025, so the record is recent. State surveyors rated the place 4 of 5 on health inspections and 5 of 5 on quality measures. It's a small, for-profit home, 50 beds, where the numbers mostly hold up.
Mission Care Center runs 6.45 nurse hours per resident day, well above the 3.86 national figure, and its 26.1% turnover sits far below the 45.8% average, a stable crew by nursing home standards. Inspections back that up: a clean 5/5 health rating, no deficiencies at harm or jeopardy level, nothing abuse-related among the 20 on record, and a survey done as recently as May 2026. The catch is CMS's own staffing star, just 2/5, which suggests the hours aren't distributed as evenly as the total implies, weekend coverage dips about 8% below weekdays. For-profit, limited liability ownership, 40 beds.
Extended Care Hospital Of Riverside runs 99 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing number is the first thing worth noting: 4.50 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86. That's real coverage, though weekends dip about 12% below the home's own weekday level, so the weekday picture is stronger than Saturday and Sunday. Staff turnover sits at 41.5%, slightly better than the 45.8% national figure, meaningful in a field where retention is hard. The current inspection record shows 38 deficiencies, none at harm or jeopardy level, but two tied to abuse, which families should ask about directly. The last inspection was February 2026, so the record is recent.
The Grove Care and Wellness runs 4.53 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 17% above the national average, and its quality measure rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. Weekend staffing, though, drops about 11% below what the home covers Monday through Friday, so coverage thins out when families tend to visit. Turnover is 45.7%, almost exactly the national rate, meaning this isn't a stable long-term crew. Inspectors found 24 deficiencies on the current record, none causing harm, but one tied to abuse, worth asking about directly. The last full inspection was January 30, 2025, so the record is recent. With 38 beds and for-profit corporate ownership, ask who's actually on the floor on Saturdays.
Riverside Heights runs a tight ship on staffing relative to most homes, 4.17 nurse hours per resident day sits about 8% above the national average, and its 33.3% turnover is meaningfully lower than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections back that up: a 5/5 health inspection rating and a June 2025 survey, with no deficiencies at the harm or jeopardy level. The catch is quality measures, which land at 2/5, and 17 total deficiencies on record including one abuse-related finding. Weekend staffing also dips about 9% below weekday levels. Owned by a for-profit partnership, this home looks steady on paper but worth asking about that quality score and the abuse citation directly.
Riverwalk Post Acute runs 4.28 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its staff turnover of 28% sits well under the 45.8% national figure, a sign people tend to stay. Weekend staffing does dip about 8% below weekday levels, which is worth knowing if your visits fall on Saturdays or Sundays. The 52 deficiencies on record include two tied to abuse, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the last inspection was recent, December 2025. With 146 beds under for-profit LLC ownership, the quality measures score better than the inspection results.
Villa Health Care Center runs about 4.27 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 11% above the national average, and its quality measure rating sits at the top of CMS's scale. The catch is consistency: weekend staffing drops about 9% below its own weekday level, and annual turnover hits 58.7% against a national 45.8%, so the people delivering that above-average care keep changing. The inspection record is current, last survey June 2025, with 35 deficiencies total, none at harm or jeopardy level, though one is abuse-related. For a 59-bed for-profit home, the clinical numbers look solid; the questions worth asking on a tour are about weekend coverage and how long the current staff have actually been there.
Woodcrest runs 4.30 nurse hours per resident day, about 11% above the national average, and that's a real strength. But the coverage thins on weekends, down roughly 10% from its own weekday level, and staff turnover sits at 55% against a national average of 45.8%. The current record carries 51 deficiencies, including one at the harm level and three tied to abuse, along with a single $12,500 fine. The last inspection was in January 2026. Corporate-owned, 120 beds, and while quality measures score well, the staffing rating and the abuse-related findings are the numbers worth asking about directly.
Riverside Village Healthcare Center runs 59 certified beds under for-profit limited liability ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 3.93 hours per resident day, slightly above the national average of 3.86. That margin narrows on weekends, when coverage drops roughly 9% below the home's own weekday level, and staff turnover comes in at 42.6%, a touch better than the 45.8% national figure.
The bigger issue is the inspection record: 60 deficiencies, though none at the harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The most recent inspection was May 2025, so the picture is current. Quality measures score well; inspection and staffing stars sit at 2 out of 5 each.
Alta Vista runs 99 certified beds in Riverside under for-profit LLC ownership, and the staffing picture is genuinely mixed. Total nurse hours come in at 4.16 per resident day, roughly 8% above the national average, but weekend coverage dips about 8% below the home's own weekday level, and CMS gives it just one star for staffing. The inspection record shows 35 deficiencies with nothing at the harm or jeopardy level and no abuse findings; the most recent inspection was in August 2025. A 5-star quality measure rating and 4-star health inspection rating sit alongside that staffing weakness, which is roughly what the B grade reflects.
Jurupa Hills Post Acute runs 143 beds in Riverside under for-profit LLC ownership, and its nurse staffing sits at 4.08 hours per resident day, about 6% above the national average, though weekends dip roughly 6% below its own weekday numbers and turnover runs 47.5%, slightly worse than the 45.8% national figure. The bigger issue is what inspectors have found: 57 deficiencies on the current record, including 4 at the harm or jeopardy level and 6 tied to abuse, plus three fines totaling $60,945. The most recent inspection was March 2025, so the record is current. Staffing looks decent on paper, but that inspection history is why this home lands where it does.
Arlington Gardens runs 4.14 nurse hours per resident per day, roughly 7% above the national average, but weekends drop about 9% below its own weekday staffing. That gap matters because 61 deficiencies sit on the current record, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and one abuse-related citation, with a single fine of $8,281. The 47.2% annual turnover lands just above the national 45.8%. CMS gives the home 5 stars for quality measures and 2 stars each for staffing and health inspections, and the last inspection was January 8, 2026. It's a for-profit limited liability company with 99 certified beds.
Riverside Postacute Care holds 188 certified beds and runs on nurse staffing that lands at 3.84 hours per resident day, essentially even with the national average, not above it in any meaningful way, and weekends dip about 4% below what the home staffs on weekdays. The bigger issue is who stays: annual turnover hits 61.3% against a national 45.8%, so a large share of the people providing care are new to the building. That instability shows up in the record: 170 deficiencies, five at harm or jeopardy level, 15 tied to abuse, and $76,211 in CMS fines. Federal regulators have placed it in the Special Focus Facility program, which is reserved for the homes with the most persistent problems.
